both threads make sense together.

The other thread wasn't really misleading, except for the part where he was praising the device.

His warning still stands and seems to be unheeded. Dont you think?
It will still splinter the base.

Especially from what I've read in the forums if Natal is $150.


And?

 

1 Natal=150$  Whole family can play...not only that...imagine how active and moving it will be for kids...parents wont be like..hey lets hand them this controller and slouch on the couch for the next few hrs...instead they are like here now watch them play and move about activley.

 

Sony move...geez me and say my Gf want to play a game*tennis/racing/etc*...snap...150$-200$...opps theres this awsome game we'd like to try but danm...I gotta have 2 orb'd controllers to play it...geez now to go out and buy more...so now im spending hmm 250$ just for 2 folks to play.

And don't worry wii is same way...it all adds up...and Natal looks to be the cheapest route....

I'm not seeing this being the seller for folks that play solo ...but more for the folks with familys..friends..people that come over to hang out and goof around and share something. You know the casuals.

Folks can't just go geez natal is soo pricy..and not compare move.



Around the Network

Just so you know I am fine with $150 as this is what I predicted it to be. I'm someone who have paid $130 for both TrackIR and a Buttkicker in the past so if I find anything interesting even for solo I will more likely buy one.

I thought there were lag problems with Natal and more than one person playing...

IIRC there was an additional 60ms lag with 2 people, and more after that...

Also, so far I haven't heard of any 4 player natal games. ANyway, this has nothing to do with move. Move is going to see the same problems, but this thread shouldn't devolve into a "which one is better" thread.

Aye.

 

Until E3 we dont have any solid info about anything..including move's line up etc...2 weeks never seemed sooo far away 8(



They're almost better off selling a miniature 360 - with Natal included for 250$.

You know, like what Nintendo did with the Wii.  A Gamecube with motion controls, and DVD discs.
